The District Attorney broke down the reason for the indictment. The stake roll and the process is essential to our democracy. George, like every state, has laws that allowed those that believed that the results of an election of wrong whether from intentional wrongdoing or unintentional error to challenge the results in our state order. The indictment alleges that rather than abide by georgias Legal Process for legal challenges, they engaged in a Criminal Racketeering Enterprise to overturn georgias Election Results.

Thank you for having me. So there is a indictment, including Rudy Giuliani and mark meadows are charged with 41 counts withests to with the charges and charged with violating the states racketeering act. What is donald trump legal generality here . He faces a lot of exposure. This is the fourth indictment that donald trump is facing in less than five months, the fourth indictment. But specifically here in georgia, what he needs to be concerned about is it that, one, were dealing with State Charges. What does that mean, State Charges . No matter if he wins the presidency or another republican wins the presidency. They will not be able to pardon him on State Charges. The ability of having cameras in the courtroom is open, so well be able this watch the trial. The most common one, he is facing five years, at least five years incarcerations on the top count of the indictment and that is the rico charge. Hes not able to get probation on that charge. Why should be concerned . Because there are 18 other defendants on the indictment. And the other 18 defendants are also facing at least five years. What does that mean . There is pressure that is going to be applied on the other 18 individuals to do what . To flip. Why . Because they dont want to do jail time for donald trump. So the thing is what will break dun and flip against him and make the case stronger for the Fulton CountyDistrict Attorney. This is the critical challenge, isnt it . He is facing jail time here, prison time. Use mentioned, hes not going to be able to pardon himself because of the State Charges. So lets talk about what path he has legally Going Forward when with you consider the charges against him and the strong evidence . As you see from his campaign, the campaign are the criminal indictments. His criminal are the criminal charges and allegations stemming across the country. Hes using that as a platform across the country. Why am i saying that . Hes trying to jeopardize the jury pool in all of his cases, meaning hes go in the courtroom, his attorneys, even if the prosecution pulls it Beyond A Reasonable Doubt, he is going to argue for jury notification. Of course hes trying to win in the public media, for the federal charges, he has to hope that if he were to win, hell be able to pardon himself. What it comes to the State Charges, hes not able to do that. Before he was not concerned because the new york charges were not State Charges. But he is not worried about, any jail time. And he may try to push this case out as much as he can and try to point the finger on other people under the indictment if their namessed or not names and five, to say theyre all coming after me. This is all politics. Theyre trying to get me out of the running. This should not be allowed. There are so many ways that hes going to attack the prosecution. The question it will he succeed against those, against donald trump . It is up to the judge to set the date for the trial. The District Attorney said they want to try all 19 defendants together and do that within the next six months. How feasible is that, do you think .

Take advantage of the expanded coverage by calling today. Deadly landslides triggered by days of heavy rain. 16 people have been killed so far and the death toll is expected to rise. Indias Weather Service said that some areas got more than 16 inches in less than 24 hours. They say that the relief on the Rescue Operations are ongoing. The death toll from the maui wildfires is now up to 99. And more likely will rise further as the crews sift through what is left of the tourist town of la maui. There are questions about how prepared the island was for a major disaster. None of the Warning Alarms went off. The governor said that they were essentially immobilized by the extreme heat. It is tragedy beyond tragedies. We never expected to see this anywhere in america. But burdened by climate and tragedy at the same time. That is why the fire occurred for the most part. Were going to get to the bottom of it. I authorized a comprehensive review so we have every answer Going Forward. Moodys predicts that the fire will cause a severe local recession on maui estimating the toll could run between 3 billion and 7 and a half billion dollars. We look at how fellow hawaiians are trying to. Reporter when the couple saw the devastation from maui, they knew they had to do something. S. We have on the way. Reporter they put a plea on facebook. When thousands of dollars began rolling in, they began handing it out. Were coming for you. Reporter but that didnt seems like enough. So they organized a caravan and sweet talked their way around red tape and checkpoints, when they saw it for the first time, they wept. Reporter just on the edge of the burn scars, we find an inspiring example of hawaiian togetherness. A whole pallet . Are you kidding . There you, man. Reporter archie is a hall of fame surfer and lifeguard that goes back nine generations. This is your house here . Yes. We were lucky because our neighbors they were here fighting the fire and the Fire Department said that this is our last stand. Were going to hold the line right here. Reporter there is so much frustration over the response so far, he said that officials deserve some understand is just because of the side of the disaster. This is a crime scene. The government has to do its Due Diligence before they start moving in. Reporter is it a humanitarian response in the middle of a working crime scene . Exactly. Reporter but another relief pod at a beach nearby, frustration has turned to anger. Everybody is like, they dont come and help. They dont come and help. Nobody cares about that. We rely on you guys that have compassion like we do. We need help. We need the next step. This is just the first week. This is the first inning of what were facing. Reporter tourism is our number one source of income. I would hope that our representatives and politicians our government would ask the people from here, when can we open . They should not telling us, we want to open six months from now. The truth of the matter, when you look at the overall devastation, we are not going to be ready to allow people to see what were living through in six months. Reporter there are a lot of conflicting emotions around the Tourism Industry around the hawaiian locals that some tourists did not hed shelter in place or orders while the fire was raging and clogged the roads and some even went snorkeling which was very offensive to the locals. They say it was the power lines that brought this down. They were hot well After The Fire started. And that is a lot of the reason that a classaction lawsuits that just been filed against Hawaiian Electrical over the weekend. The stock in the company dropped 40 on the news. So a lot of questions where it started and where the warnings were for the locals and where the help is now . It would be nice to see one person in uniform come check on us. Bill weir, cnn, maui. We look at how it took the fire to travel one mile in just minutes. They were caught in traffic so they did the one thing they thought would save their lives, sprint into the ocean they spent about five hours before they were taken to safety. It was just so suffocating, the air was to thick, so heavy with smoke. I said in the video, if you look to the left, it was on fire, to the right it was on fire. At that moment, i realized that were going to be in the water for a while. They spent 12 hours when they tried to escape and finally got rescued. And they were able to get to a place where they were able to get a Cell Phone Signal on top tv a building. And noah calmly called me as i talked to my neighbors. While i was telling the story to my neighbor, noah called me. And he said to me, is dad, were okay. Were okay. And that was just a huge relief. Terrifying moments for so many survivors.
